NOMINATION FOR ALUMNI TRUSTEE

At the meeting of the Alumni Council held in Boston, November 10, Mr. Sanford H. Steele of the Class of 1870 was unanimously nominated to complete the term of Henry B. Thayer of the Class of 1878.

Mr. Steele, after considerable hesitation, has consented to accept the nomination, in view of the urgent representations of the Council. At a critical period in the history of all corporate organizations, it may be reckoned good fortune for Dartmouth to have opportunity to add to its trustee directorate a man of Mr. Steele's calibre and experience.

Born in Stanstead, P. Q., in 1847, Sanford Steele came early to the States and was in due course graduated from Dartmouth College. Following graduation he. studied law at Columbian University (now George Washington University), at Washington, where he obtained successively the degrees of LL.B. and LL.M.

In 1872 he was admitted to the Vermont bar on examination and the following year was admitted, likewise by examination, to the New York bar. Since that time he has been resident in New York where he founded the firm of Steele and Otis and has gained eminence in the practice of corporation law.

In 1899 he organized the General Chemical Company of which he long served as president and of which he still retains the title of general counsel. His business affiliations are important. He is a member of the York Chamber of Commerce. He is a director of the Chatham and Phenix Bank, of the Title Guaranty and Trust Company, of the Granby Consolidated Mining Company, and a trustee of the Brooklyn Savings Bank. For a considerable period he was trustee of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and of the Polytechnic College of Brooklyn.

He is a member of the University Club of New York City, the Rembrandt Club, and the Hamilton Club of Brooklyn; of the Oakland Golf Club; and of the Down Town Association of New York. His church affiliation is with the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, of which he is a trustee.

In accordance with the requirement of the Constitution of the Association of Alumni of Dartmouth College, this announcement of Mr. Steele's nomination is published to the alumni.
